On this sunny October (late) afternoon, I was able to spare some time with my family at the lovely, but relatively "fresh" Polderbaan "Spottersplek".



So we took the smallest Amsterdam Spotter with 4 feet, the Junior Spotter and the Manager Spotter (my wife is our family manager) to the Polderbaan an just walked some hundred meters on the adjacent bikepath, powering out the Dogspotter with a lot of running and playing and the junior spotter with almost the same activities, giving me the space to take some nice pictures.

Today is a sad day for most of the Martinair employees. Effective today, Martin Air Holland ceases passenger operations with their Boeing 767-300ER planes.

 

Today there is  a "Goodbye Flight" scheduled with the PH-MCL Retrojet of Martinair which will fly for about one hour above the Netherland to say "Farewell" to all possible Martinair passengers in the Netherlands.

As spotters, we will miss the Martinair 767's, but will look forward on how Martinair will develop further in regards to Cargo Traffic which shall be the new role in the AirFrance - KLM group for Martinair.

 

Goodbye PH-MCL and sister planes, the Amsterdam Spotter will miss all of you:

Unfortunately, we experienced a full server breakdown this weekend, including the damage of our backup drives and files, so we need to start from scratch with this website.



In the upcoming days, we will more and more bring back the old contents and relaunch the Vogt Familie Website.

After our Server crash, we have brought the first parts of the Sotting Gallery and the first spotting guide back online.

More will follow in the next days .
